Anonymous asked: So since it is short course season now we moved indoors for training ( as it is also winter here ) i found that my performance in the pool has dropped. Since I switched with a new club they train summer outdoors and winter indoors it's really hot and stuffy and I think is that the reason why I just completely die in the pool? I cant perform at my best in the training sessions anymore because...

Anonymous asked: So I did my first three mile open water swim today. It was super fun, actually. But I got beaten by a couple hundredths of a second by someone who wouldn't get their behind out of my way on the way to the finish line. There was some really narrow little path and I couldn't go around her and she was going super slowly. So I was really upset. And I thought I'd share that with people...

Anonymous asked: This is my first year as a competitive swimmer. My 50m record is 29 sec. My coaches & teammates think I will beat the record which is 24 sec. by my senior year, I'm a freshie. What do you think? I know it's pretty hard to drop time on sprints once you've become aware of your capability.. So I really doubt I'll get close. I'm swimming 3 times a week for off season, plus...

swimmingmemes asked: About the tech suits: I wore both the FS3 & the LZR at the Canadian Olympic Trials. I went a best time in my FS3, but also in my LZR. I didn't really like the FS3, but it seemed to work so I couldn't complain... I also spent most of my time in it being terrified that it was going to wrip and have my butt end up all over the internet like Nathan Adrians....

Anonymous asked: Hi! I'm swimming a 200 free (long course) this weekend for the first time and I have no idea how to swim it. My normal long course 50 free time is about a 35. I know I'm really bad because I just started swimming. Please let me know! Thanks!
Anonymous asked: I'm really nervous about this long course meet. I can't stop thinking about it. I have to swim a 200 fly for the first time and I. AM. GOING. TO. DIE. Literally. Besides, it's my first time swimming it and I'm not a flyer. Any advice to help me out?? :o

200 fly anon!
my first 200 fly was long course haha. good times. the key to 200 fly is keeping your stroke. thats the hardest part right there. if you can have a good stroke going that last 50 youre set. your first 100 should be 5-10 seconds off your 100 fly time, depending on your endurance. BREATHE OFF YOUR WALLS. i know it goes against swimming wisdom, but breathe. you will need oxygen and holding your...

Anonymous asked: Hello :) I love your blog! If you don't mind, I would like to ask for some advice. Tomorrow I am swimming the 200 fly for the first time ever. We just started Long Course, and everyone says this event is much harder in Long Course rather than Short Course. Do you have any tips you could give me? Thank you~!
